About[]
During the film's climax, Princess Poppy and the other Trolls are thrown into a pot to be served to the Bergens. This makes them lose their colors from losing hope except Branch, who was already grey to begin with. Branch breaks his 20-year "no singing" vow to brighten up Poppy, who begins to turn pink again. After she gets her color back, Branch confesses he loves her as well. Seeing Poppy brighten up causes him to show his true colors in the process. When the two sing and dance together, the entire village turns to their respective colors with their hope renewed.

Movie[]
Branch:
You with the sad eyes
Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize
It's hard to take courage
In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
The darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small
Show me a smile then
Don't be unhappy
Can't remember when
I last saw you laughing
This world makes you crazy
And you've taken all you can bear
Just, call me up
'Cause I will always be there
And I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
Poppy:
So don't be afraid
Branch and Poppy:
To let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful
Branch:
I see your true colors
Shining through (Poppy: true colors)
I see your true colors
Branch and Poppy:
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid
To let them show
Branch:
Your true colors
Poppy:
True colors
Branch and Poppy:
Are beautiful
Branch:
Like a rainbow
Poppy:
Ohh, ohh, like a rainbow
